When my daughter while studying attended a pottery workshop;
started making jewelry in terracotta.

She wanted me to help her in small ways as she
started to sell them to her classmates. I was too busy with my paintings to get
into her groove….in retrospect- I now started making ear rings out of paper,
clay, shells, metal etc. I have taken a
short diversion from my paintings my inspiration came mainly from nature and things around
me.I got so involved in this creative process that while on my walk, I started
to look at every pebble or fallen leaf or twig for a possible jewelry piece .
In a few months I made sixty odd pieces of ear rings..each different from one
another. I call this collection “ Papyrus” (LOL)

Here I am sharing a few pictures.

Orange dew drops
Skeleton of real leaf fused on paper with pearls…was inspired by raindrops on leaves and flowers in my garden.
